Temporarily recreate already dropped functions in the discourse_functions schema in order to allow restoring of backups which still reference dropped functions.
In order for this to work the Backuper stores a couple of site settings
in the new backup_metadata table, because the old setting values might
not be available on restore anymore.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
* Logs exceptions during the cleanup phase, but doesn't stop executing subsequent cleanup tasks.
* Notifies the user at the end of the cleanup phase, so that the log contains possible errors during that phase.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
* Since we can no longer restore into a different schema,
we will move tables in the public schema into the backup schema
first before restoring the dump file which goes into the public
schema. The downside to this approach is that we will increase
the downtime experienced during the restore process. Downtime
would equal the duration of restoring the dump file.
